Elimination of Nasrallah and bombing of Iran

On September 27, 2024, Israeli forces launched a strike on the capital of Lebanon, Beirut. The target of the attack was Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, who had led the militants for more than 30 years.

Less than a day later, the Israeli Defense Forces officially confirmed Nasrallah's elimination. They stated he was killed in an airstrike.

On the night of June 13, 2025, Israel began striking Iranian military and nuclear facilities. In addition, the country eliminated dozens of top Iranian commanders.

Since then, the two countries have been regularly exchanging strikes.
